Back together

I finished rebuilding the front N/S today, new wheel brake parts and bearings on and a new drum.

This completes the first round of work. Hub, brake and swivel parts replaced or restored. I have some larger fixings to order and fit to the swivel pins as this is a late 2A and they changed size some time around 1966.. once that's done, new axle breathers and fresh gear oil in the diffs and swivel housings.. see if she leaks.. :)

N/S Swivel Hub Back On

Stripped and refurb'd the N/S swivel today. This one had more corrosion than the other side, but a rust removal disc and progressive grades of wet and dry got it looking decent. When my son restores this Land Rover he can fit entirely new swivels both sides. ;-)

Looking good. Before and after shots below. Next session should see her out on the trolley jack, half shaft back in, and new brake and wheel hub parts fitted..

New axle case oil seal in place and ready to refit the swivel..
